Colosseum Season 2 Colosseum PTM Rankings Season 1 was a HUGE success. We had thousands of characters that joined and over 14,000 matches played. The SR algorithm was also impressive. We've made some improvements to Season 2 based on feedback and we're excited to be kicking off Season 2 soon. Future seasons will not have such a long off-season. Ranking Division System NEW FEATURE 20230910-1855-58.1349725.mp4.c5058b4ed4045e347fe7665125910b7a.mp4 Characters will be divided into two categories when participating in Colosseum Tier 1: Top 30%-40% --> will be able to enter Colosseum PTM first Tier 2: Top 40%+ --> will be able to enter Colosseum PTM after the first tier Skill Rating Calculation Improvements Skill Rating Decay - Increased Inactivity Penalty > 72 hours = -7% SR > 120 hours = -10% SR Match # Penalty Match # penalty applies when the character has played less than 40% of the average number of matches played by top 50 rankers. 25% - 40% of average matches played: -10% 10% - 25% of average matches played: -15% < 10% of average matches played: -25% Other Improvements Added additional variables. Rewards Additional Rewards may be added Weapon Skin --> Preview coming soon Coins Top 1 (each class): 5,000 Coins Top 2 (each class) 2,500 Coins Top 3-5 (each class) 1,000 Coins Emblem Previous season's emblem will be replaced to say "Previous Season" when Season 2 ends. Colosseum Ranking System Guide How to View Your Colosseum Ranking Info The launcher shows some of the rankings data. The full ranking data can be viewed on the website by clicking Rankings -> Colosseum at the top When are the rankings updated? Rankings are updated based on a dynamic interval, usually 15-30 minutes after Colosseum PTM ends (round 10). Calculation SR is calculated using several factors. The most important factor is winning. Calculation Factors Win/Loss Average Level + Average SR of the match Match Count (compared to avg) Class + Kills/Deaths/Heals Match Exclusions In certain cases, a match will not be counted toward SR. Unequal Teams (not 3v3) Disconnect or game crash BEFORE map loads NOTE: Closing the client or DCing after the map has loaded will result in SR LOSS. New Player / Ungeared / Low Winrate If a team has a player with a very low winrate, the match will not be counted. Penalties Penalties deduct SR points. Low match count --> dynamic: compared to avg # of matches of all ranked players SR Decay --> not playing at least 2 Colosseum matches within 2 days. Excessive disconnecting/relogging/crashing.

ABCD buff reward received via mail will be doubled (two spins instead of one). 通过邮件收到的 ABCD 增益奖励将加倍（两次旋转而不是一次）。

This is a mini-patch. The patch notes from yesterday's normal patch is here. Mini-Patch 19.6 Guild Changes Improved the amount of grade points earned per character level. Decreased amount of grade points needed to level up guild to Lv. 15. Perpetus Attainability Improvements Increased drop rate for Dragon Tongue on the following Sacred Claw bosses: Foreman King Digger --> High Lab Chief Verdia --> Very high Conjuror Edward --> Very high Balance The previous balance patch (in patch 19.5) updated all skills to the latest version. In this patch we are updating the base stats of some classes to the latest version. Not all classes had a chance in base stats. Incar Magician Magic Damage ratio per SPR point increased Magic Resist ratio per level increased Guard rate increased Segnale MP per SPR point Magic Damage ratio per level increased Magic Damage ratio per SPR point increased Concerra Summoner Magic Damage ratio per level increased Melee Damage ratio per level increased Trie Muse Base Stats Magic resist per level increased MP per SPR point increased Overall magic damage rate increased Skills AOE debuff skill (Crash ___) duration increased: 2.0 seconds -> 2.8 seconds Separatum is now a small AOE.

Colosseum Changes 20230910-1855-58.1349725.mp4 IMPROVEMENT --> Ranking Tier System Division system may not be activated immediately after update. Characters will be divided into two categories when participating in Colosseum Tier 1: Top 30%-40% --> will be able to enter Colosseum PTM first Tier 2: Top 40%+ --> will be able to enter Colosseum PTM after the first tier Note: During off season, characters will be divided based on either level, previous season SR, or off-season SR. IMPORTANT --> RETURN LOCATION Due to the new division system, we had to make Colosseum PTM send each character back to their return location after a match. To remedy this, we've added an option in Colosseum PTM NPC to set your return location to Colosseum. Other Changes Party teleport has been disabled in Colosseum Lobby map. Relog/reclient --> sent to return location DK Square / Zuto Battle DK Square We understand that DK Square is not as fun when the teams aren't equally balanced. We are working on improving the matchmaking in DK-Square. For now, we've made some minor improvements. Thank you for your support and patience. We've enabled a new system that hopefully gathers data on which team is stronger than the other. This will help us develop a way to balance the teams better. Zuto Battle Stone Capture Time Decreased: 30 Seconds --> 15 Seconds Bug Fixes / Improvements Guild Skill Improvements Attendance System Will start on September 11th, 2023 at 00:01 server time. All characters will start on day 11 to compensate. Fixed error that occurred when purchasing the White Skin from D-Shop' Fixed issue with White Skin items not being tradeable (from ghost event and from dshop box) Fixed White Skin floor efaaaafect that was supposed to be removed in previous update Fixed animations on Rising Helion NPC. Updated some game UI Optimizations + Performance Optimized a bunch of files so that the client loads quicker and uses less memory and other resources Prepared files for future update Updated anti-hack to improve an issue causing the game to close Balance Changes 1) Overall Balance After this update, all classes will see their Meister skill damage increase after this update. This was supposed to happen in Patch 19.0 but did not due to a bug. After this update, all Meister skills will have latest DMG values from KR. 2) Skill / Class Specific Balance

Season 2 Info Season 2 will be announced soon and start later this month. There will be some changes for Season 2 that will be detailed when it starts. Hall of Fame (that includes top 5 of each class, each season will be released soon). Season 1 Prizes This season was a huge success. There were over thousands of characters that participated in thousands of Colosseum matches. A lot of people really poured their heart into the PTM system, even though it was frustrating at times. We appreciate all the feedback and will continue to make improvements. Top by Class Prizes Sent Coins Top 1 (each class): 3,000 Coins Top 2 (each class) 2,000 Coins Top 3-5 (each class) 1,000 Coins NOTE: Reward/event coins cannot be used to purchase D-Shop Bullions Exclusive Emblem: Colosseum Best of Class Top 1 Emblem NOTE: The emblem being sent expires because there will be two versions of Top 1 emblems. One version will be permanent and have the season number written under it. Another version will be timed (for the duration of each season). Since Season 2 is not scheduled yet, Season 1's emblem time may be longer than usual. Disqualifications Match count The average number of matches per character was 100. However, for the top players it was much higher. In Season 1, the minimum match count count to be considered was 40. The following players would have placed in the top 3 but were disqualified: Match count disqualification Krau, Toxibat, Dolph, SmoKing, MeewTwo, WaltzingMatilda

CLICK HERE FOR CHINESE TRANSLATION OF PATCH NOTES | 点击此处查看补丁说明的中文翻译 📣 Message from Nitex 📣 HI everyone! Apologies for the delay in response times and updates. Some stuff came up that threw our schedule off a bit, but the good news is that we are close to getting back on track. We're extremely excited to show you guys what we have planned. I've included a list of stuff (minus the top secret stuff 😉 ) below along with some time estimates. About this update --> This update is not full of content and not as exciting as usual updates. Apologies for this, but this update includes a lot of behind-the-scenes improvements and preparations for future updates. In order to keep the server running with the best performance and minimize the occurence of bugs, we need to do "maintenance / backlog" updates like this every once in a while. This helps us stay up to date with the latest and greatest files and content for you. Thank you for your trust and understanding. Upcoming Updates Latest KR balancing update --> 1 Week Colosseum Rankings Season 1 Rewards < 1 Week Season 2: 1~2 Weeks Draco Battle + DK Square Improvements --> 1-2 weeks Balancing, prizes, and more. Text Improvements General text improvements Chinese translation improvements: Staged release --> Weekly / Bi-weekly Network Improvements --> 2-4 Weeks New PvE Content (dungeons, world events, etc): Staged release --> 1-2 Weeks, 4 weeks A male version of one of the most iconic classes.... Patch 19.3 Notes [JUMP 2] New Player Experience Improvements We've made several improvements to help new players get started and be able to enjoy more aspects of the game while they build their set. Now it's quicker than ever to get started and join the action! [Starter] Rondow Set +15 Built-in Gems The starter set is not socket-able. Instead, we've made it easier for new players by hard-coding what gems would provide. +15 Reinforcement Options, Set Effect, and more The starter version is almost the same as the normal version. The only difference is that the starter version does not have Rank Options and is not brandable. Set Effect --> Because the Starter Rondow set is part of the same set effect, you can keep using the starter and replace individual pieces while you build your actual Rondow set. Example: When you finish making your Rondow +15 Gloves, you can use those with the Starter Rondow Helmet, Boots, Pants, Chest and you will still get the set effect. General New JUMP Character Level: 180 --> 200 Characters now start with Transup 3 quest completed. Characters now start with Meister + Grand Meister 1 quests completed. Characters now start with 1,000 match chat items El-Mar Event Updated --> Lesser Leviathan x Ghosts! CURRENT EL MAR EVENT El Mar Event Lesser Leviathan (whale) will spawn every 3-5 hours in the center of El Mar. An announcement will display on all channels a few seconds before the boss spawns New Addition: Event Ghosts will also spawn at the same time. Remember, event ghosts have a chance to drop: Drops --> Ghost Bounty Boxes White Infused Skin White Ghost has a 10-30% chance to drop a 30-Day White Infused skin. Game Mode Improvements DK Square / Draco Battle / Zuto Battle Moved to a new channel + server for better network performance and processing performance Began testing new AFK-Detection system Improved detection of multi-logging or more than one character per person Improved performance in large fights DK Square Reward Improvements - ABCD Supply Machine ABCD Buffs Package 10x --> 20x ABCD Buffs Package 20x --> 40x BALANCING We understand that some matches are not balanced well and are working on having this improved. There will be some DK-Square related hot-fixes that won't require full server restarts and be quicker than waiting until the next update. IMPORTANT -- BALANCING IMPROVEMENTS WILL NOT BE APPLIED IMMEDIATELY. Instead they will be applied in 1-2 days without server restarts or maintenance. Thank you for your patience. General Improvements Shangri-La Map => DK Channel Shangri-La is now on a DK channel. This also applies to Qune's Templte dungeon in Shangri-LA. Dungeon Improvements Updated several dungeons to newer versions. This includes better EXP for monsters part of those dungeons, improved flow, and more fun. Elonohm Sacred Claw Python Castle Quality of Life (QoL) Improvements Increased maximum stack size of the following items: Depellium Saint Lana Increased damage resistance on Summoner Pets (temporary until new balance patch comes out with skill for pet dmg res). Text Improvements Improved system PK notification message for friends, guild members Improved map accuracy and names in system messages and PK notifications Major Text Fixes We have developed a new AI tool to help us correct text errors, translation errors, and missing text. Over 5000+ text strings have been improved or fixed. More improvements will be made with every update since our new tool makes it much faster. Chinese Translation Several corrections have been made in the Chinese client. However, the much bigger amount of improvements and corrections to the Chinese client will be made this month and early next month. We hope to be as close to perfection as possible. Sound Improvements "Cane Hawk" (Summoner + Concerra) --> Removed the sound that played on a loop while the buff was active. "Speed" (Segita Hunter) --> Removed the sound that played on a loop while the buff was active. Decreased volume of certain environmental sounds and skill effects to improve sound quality and decrease clutter Other / Bug Fixes Fixed a bug that caused visual issues with inventory UI and auto-arrange/sort. Fixed a bug with some level 1-100 armor/wep shops causing client to crash. Fixed a bug with the target UI Fixed some map names that were incorrect Fixed "Rice Cake Soup" ==> Fixed a bug that caused this not to stack correctly with other rice cake buffs. Removed floor effect from White Infused Weapon Skin --> We have decided that going forward weapon skins will not include floor effects so that floor effects be exclusive to Talismans. Performance Improvements Client/Server Performance Fixed major issue that caused a delay in processing data between the client and server. This caused issues like characters teleporting or incorrect skill casting and affected all channels but impacted DK channels more. Client Performance Improved loading speed (loading screen, maps, characters, etc.) Optimized client memory usage Fixed some sudden client crashes

While we're very proud of how well it works, we strive for perfection and will continue to make improvements each season. ___________________________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT NOTICE While we encourage constructive feedback, there will be a 0 tolerance policy for abuse or flaming related related to the Colosseum. The ranking system is in BETA, and it is not the only priority we have to focus on. We are working on several major updates and the Colosseum is just one thing of many to come. There is no requirement to participate, and thus we ask anyone who is frustrated to simply opt out of the rankings system (feature will be added soon). Opt out if you tilt to avoid risking a competitive ban or a full account ban. This is the only warning. ___________________________________________________________________________________ [Season Schedule] August 12 -> August 28 Rankings will be frozen on August 22nd at 11:59PM server time. Future Seasons: Future seasons will be two weeks long starting on the 1st and 14th of each month. More info will be posted when season 2 starts.

To update launcher: Go to game folder and run "launcher" or "launcher.exe". Then start game normally.

They can be found on the launcher and the website. This is just a trial, eventually we will start the first season and announce the rewards. Colosseum Rankings update every 15 minutes. General Great Devil's Horn--> Updated to new version Added 10% Critical Damage Balance This is not a major balance update. That will come later. LAST UPDATE: With the addition of 10% pots and characters overall being able to tank more damage, we've dialed back a nerf that we did (equally to all classes) on Meister skills. We implemented that nerf a while ago when the server first launched and people were dying in < 5 seconds due to gear. After this update, all classes will see their Meister skill damage increase after this update. THIS UPDATE: In total, when we originally nerfed meister skills, we nerfed them by 15% (same % for all classes). We did this at the beginning of the server while everyone got geared and we added missing items. LAST UPDATE we increased the damage by 8% (so they were will 7% nerfed from original) THIS UPDATE we are increasing them by 7% (this update + last update = 15% increase) THIS MEANS Meister skills are now back to original damage ratio values for all classes (no longer nerfed) Total Meister skill damage % increase from this update is 7%, last update 8%, total 15% Balance is improved since the nerf negatively affected some classes more than others (even though it was the same % for all classes, it hurt classes that relied on high dmg values more) Other Improved client performance and stability AK skill "Infinity Evil" --> Updated to latest animations KNOWN BUGS: We are working on fixing the Twinblade Blossom Skin bug Teasers / Coming Soon

Quick Disclaimer + Near Future Unfortunately this patch does not include everything we were targeting due to unexpected issues with the last update. However, expect another update very soon with more new content. ❤️ Huge shout out to Flourished (our new GFX team member). He designed the Blossom skins and did an amazing job. Coming Soon: Major network upgrade that will improve latency globally, especially for Asia players.

RisingProtect 2.0 Alt-Detect 2.0 We have revamped the system that detects dual loggers in competitive game modes to be much more accurate and resilient, as well as compatible with ExitLag. AFK-Detect 1.0 AFK Tracking predicts characters that are AFK-ing in competitive modes for the sake of rewards. Penalties / Bans Abuse attempts will be either "flagged" or "confirmed". In some cases there will be no notification to the user. If a character receives a certain number of abuse flags, or confirmed abuse detection, they may be banned from competitive modes, sometimes without warning. Upon a competitive ban, an in-game mail will be sent with information about when the ban expires (if ever) If a character seemingly tries to bypass abuse bans, rewards may be deleted from their character. Abusers will be removed, banned, and or disqualified from any upcoming ranking systems (Colosseum, DKS, etc) or tournaments. New Skins: Blossom + Dragon Blossom Skin Obtainable from D-Shop + Events Dragon Skins (Gold, Blue, Red, Black) [PREVIEW ONLY] PREVIEW ONLY --> These will not be in the D-Shop and are not released yet.
